Chapter 350: A Tale of Two Cities

"Did I hear that right?! 1000 million dollars!" "Oh my god... this is... this is more than a billion!" It's called a blockbuster! It's six or seven times that of Huayi!"

"Kakaka!" The flash lights went on like crazy. Although it hadn't stopped since the beginning, it was more like the muffled thunder before a thunderstorm, and the audience could only hear this sound.

Zhang Yimou raised his finger, chatting and laughing freely, and the photos he thought of were taken into every camera.

"Crazy, investing 2.5 million yuan to make a movie! Not counting the income from Waifu and DVDs, [-] times is the life and death line!" An old reporter said dumbfounded, and touched the photographer next to him with his elbow, "Hey, man, count it!" Forget it, how much will it take to get back the money?"

"At least 8000 million at the box office..." The photographer was also completely stunned. "This, this is the miracle of the Titanic back then!"

"Don't worry!" Another reporter suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "They are counting in US dollars, that is to say, this film has the possibility of being released worldwide! If this is the case, this is not only a commercial film, but also It's a blockbuster movie entering the Hollywood market!"

On the main stage, the silver light shone, and everyone was boiling, shocked by the huge investment of [-] million yuan.

Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping looked at each other and smiled. This effect was what they wanted. However, this was just the beginning, and there were still several important things to do next.

In the face of 2000 million investment, what is [-] million?

Xinhai Hotel, Wang Zhongjun introduced the crew in detail, and also entered the free questioning session.

He had already noticed that many reporters were looking at their mobile phones. Just over ten seconds ago, many people began to whisper.

Years of experience have formed an intuition to control the atmosphere.The sixth sense told him that Zhang Yimou had already drawn the first sword.

What should come will always come, he gritted his teeth and announced the start of free questioning.

"Mr. Wang, let me ask a question first." Many people raised their hands, but after a man with glasses stood up, everyone put their hands down.

The leader of the fourth group of popular films, a representative of the "professional school".

"Please say."

"I would like to ask, how did the investment in this film come from? Huayi took out 2000 million yuan? As far as I know, Huayi should think twice about spending 2000 million yuan alone, right?"

"This film is jointly invested by Huayi and Lixiao. It is basically half of one person. Of course, the dividends after the event are also the same."

"Dawn?" The man with glasses cast his eyes on Lin Xiao, "Is it Mr. Lin's company?"

Lin Xiao nodded with a smile.

The man with glasses pushed his glasses, "Just now we got the news that just over ten seconds ago, director Zhang Yimou had announced their investment amount, which was 500 million."

Wang Zhongjun's heart was relieved, 500 million, fortunately, they still have something to fight.

"The main actors are Li Lianjie, Donnie Yen, Zhang Manyu, Liang Chaowei, Chen Daoming."

Some journalists who have no informants have become suspicious. These people only earn 1000 million?Li Lianjie himself is paid tens of millions!Don't other people want money?

what happened?Wang Zhongjun was also puzzled, and his thick eyebrows frowned.

A burst of whispering sounded from the audience, and only Lin Xiao was indifferent to it.

"It's 500 million U.S. dollars! A total of nearly 4000 million yuan!" The voice of the man with glasses rang out, "I want to ask, Mr. Wang and Mr. Lin, facing an opponent whose investment is nearly seven times that of The World Without Thieves, Huayi and How is Lixiao going to face it?! Can a World Without Thieves defeat the 'hero' of director Zhang Yimou in the expectation of the two bosses!"

After one sentence was finished, the audience was silent, or dead silent.

The other party sacrificed this magic weapon from the very beginning, how can a world without thief deal with it?

The barrel of the lens is generally aimed at the main stage, and even Zhao Wei's fists clenched in shock can be photographed.

In fact, not only Zhao Wei, even Wang Zhongjun almost bit his own tongue at this moment.

One hundred and ten million!

What kind of concept is this? You can buy some big companies for thousands of people to eat and drink!Now it is used to invest in a movie!

"Defeat?" Lin Xiao suddenly said, and smiled slightly, "We are just opponents, there is no such thing as success or failure."

"Director Zhang Da has won countless awards. In comparison, we are just a small crew. We should learn more."

Wang Zhongjun suppressed the shock in his heart and squeezed out a smile, "Yes, everyone is testing the waters for the Chinese film industry. I think every company that dares to take this step will be successful."

"Everyone knows that blockbuster movies are almost always accompanied by big investment." Lin Xiao continued, "The greater the investment in foreign countries, the more magnificent the scenes are, which is almost an unbreakable truth. I have always admired Director Zhang's visual sense. I think With Director Zhang's method, we can make good use of the [-] million investment."

"However, Director Feng's shooting technique is to see the big from the small. For the 2000 million yuan, every point is used wisely. The scene may not be as grand as the hero, but it is definitely far beyond everyone's imagination."

what happened?

The audience was silent, and needles could be heard falling.

Are you sure this is a World Without Thieves press conference?

Are you sure this isn't a hero's press conference?

Why are the two big investment tycoons always praising heroes, as if they are not making tens of millions of investments?

This made the reporters who wanted to see the two sides pinch each other suspicious and surprised.

Not only them, but other artists on the stage also looked at Lin Xiao and Wang Zhongjun with unfamiliar eyes.

"Lin Xiao, the press conference is the first stop! How can you say that?" Zhao Wei who was next to him anxiously leaned over regardless of the camera being filmed, and said in a low voice, "This is to give the hero momentum! The press conference It was distributed to audiences all over the country! What about our box office at the end of the year?"

Lin Xiao just smiled, and said in a low voice, "Trust us. There are tens of millions of crews, how could you just admit defeat?"

"Then can I think that the crew of A World Without Thieves thinks they are no match for heroes?" The man in glasses almost dropped his glasses to the ground in surprise. In such a situation, they chose to avoid talking about it, but it is good that a world without thieves, the two investors praised it one after another, as if they had made it themselves.

Zhou Xun and Zhang Hanyu all cast anxious glances suggesting that he should quickly correct this statement.

Wang Zhongjun nodded towards Lin Xiao, and Lin Xiao continued, "That's not what I said, but last year, when domestic films had no concept of commercial films, they encountered 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets', 'The Mummy' and 'Tomb Raider'." "These blockbusters with more than [-] million hits, this year there are also blockbusters with more than [-] million productions in China, we are just happy. Of course, A World Without Thieves is also one of them, and it will not let everyone down."

The man with glasses didn't know what to say.

He seriously suspected that he had gone to the wrong venue. This was definitely the venue for the hero's press conference.

How could Huayi make such a mistake?Or knowing that he is absolutely invincible, just show weakness directly?

In the two answers, each time I first talked about the general situation, and then said that the hero investment is large, the lineup is good, and the famous director is mentioned. At the end, a world without thieves will not be bad.

Is this the rhythm of a fox pretending to be a tiger?

"I...it's okay." The man with glasses gasped for no reason and sat down.

Zhou Xun sighed secretly, Zhao Wei shook his head silently, they couldn't figure out how could a press conference be held like this.

The "Kakaka" spotlight was on, and every movement of everyone was perfectly recorded in the camera and video camera.

Countless people are "scrubbing" and recording their inspirations in the notebooks they carry with them.

"Feng Xiaogang's new film - A World Without Thieves, a modern film."

"The film king Lin Xiao, made his behind-the-scenes debut, his first foray into behind-the-scenes work." A reporter wrote, after thinking for a while, he added, "The two major investors, Wang Zhongjun and Lin Xiao, frankly admitted that the hero investment is high, the lineup is strong, and their attitude is unclear. It just means that the performance of A World Without Thieves will not be bad."

A more direct reporter wrote, "The crew of A World Without Thieves lacks confidence. Facing a huge production——Zhang Yimou's hero, he is strong on the outside but not strong on the outside."

"At first, I hoped that A World Without Thieves would have some ambition and face difficulties, but now..." He shook his head while writing, "Isn't it to build up other people's ambitions and destroy one's own prestige? Originally, everyone was focused, and at the end of the year, foreign blockbusters such as Harry Potter and the like are simply divided among the pack, but now they have become the only one."

"It's not bad at all, at least you can recognize the reality and put yourself in the right position." The person next to him said, "At least when a world without thieves is suppressed by heroes, the media won't talk about it too much, after all, people's attitudes are so low gone."

"This is the most chaotic and intense year in the history of Chinese film - domestic blockbusters vs. overseas blockbusters, and there is also a domestic blockbuster battle for the king. It's exciting. But now..."

Just then, another reporter raised his hand.

After Wang Zhongjun nodded, he stood up and said, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Lin, I would like to ask, everyone knows that A World Without Thieves is a modern drama from the promotional posters. But what type is it?"

This time, it was Feng Xiaogang's turn to say, "This is a story about a thief."

"On a train, a series of thefts and anti-thefts took place, between human hearts and human nature." He laughed, "Maybe some people say, it's cliché, yes, it is cliché. But think about my Party A and Party B, see you soon , How big is the scene? Can’t it be done in a courtyard?”

"Whether it's good or not, no one can make a conclusion until the film is finished. It's stupid to talk nonsense."

"Maybe our production is not as good as the heroes, maybe our scenes are not as magnificent as Director Zhang, maybe our pictures are not as beautiful as Director Zhang, but a world without thieves is my work of conscience."

Lin Xiao nodded secretly, this was the plan they made first, in addition to praising the hero, they also had to give the world without thief a hook, otherwise they would have gone too far.

The flashing lights sounded like thunder again, and the reporters were all excited. The name of Xiaogangpao really lived up to its reputation, laughing and cursing without any scruples.This is simply the best information I wrote.

"If I have to describe the film, I can say that this is the story of 'The Thief'." Feng Xiaogang glanced at the reporter, ignoring the commotion caused by the word "stupid" just now, and then said, "Under your noses , there is only one person around, and your things are just gone, how did you take them away? How did you find them?"

"A lipstick, a blanket, can become suspicious." He made an O shape with his hand, "Have you ever seen an egg?"

Many reporters nodded.

"Have you ever peeled an egg?"

The reporters all laughed.

"Have you ever peeled a raw egg?"

This time, the mouths of all reporters became o-shaped.

"Peeling raw eggs by hand is just one example." Feng Xiaogang said lightly, "There are even eggs that don't need to be peeled by hand. Although the story is small, the content is definitely full. This is not the thief in everyone's imagination..."
